Always arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 15-20 psi so bring a tire pressure gauge along. Tires can be re-inflated at any of the area gas stations or the county put in FREE air stations at the Historic Corolla Park, 1100 Club Road, Corolla. The Park is on the sound side of the road. Turn in at the park road, make a right at the stop sign and another quick right into the gravel parking lot. The air up stations will be at the end of the lot. Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Leave the middle of the beach available for parked vehicles. Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. ATVs are not permitted. Also, Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. Jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. The closest boat ramp is located at the Whalehead Club in Corolla. Due to shallow water and grass, this ramp is suitable for small craft only. For more information regarding Currituck County's rules and regulations, please contact the Currituck County Chamber of Commerce.

8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Nice, big house with plenty of room with 10 of us. Great location with easy access with a Suburban. AWD equinox also made it at low tide. Private walkway to the beach with deck near the beach. Great ocean views from the house. Saw horses near the house every day. Fridge in both kitchen and lower level was nice. Outdoor shower was convenient as well, but did leak the entire stay. We did unfortunately have lots of minor issues, but nothing major and the host quickly responded. Pool water was very low and sandy, but it was cold during most of our stay anyway so we used the hot tub more. Shower in the downstairs bathroom didnt work at all and the master toilet was leaking to the point that we didnt want to use it, but there are plenty of bathrooms, including a half bath right next to the master bedroom, so it didn't matter much. The burners on the stove are broken and run VERY hot even on lowest temperature. We adjusted to it, but you can tell it's taking its toll on the pots and pans. The water pressure on the top floor gets very bad if people are using it in the other bathrooms and the water leaves stains on everything and sometimes has noticeable sediment, but we were told they just put in a new well, so maybe it's just a temporary issue. We also had intermittent wifi issues with some of our devices and TVs, but host was able to help. Even with all these minor things, it was a great stay and I would probably book again. Thanks for sharing this beautiful location!

The host was very responsive and helped with information. The rental was clean, a little dated, but overall acceptable. There was so much room for people to spread out. We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked wonderful. The lid was off when we arrived so we left it that way, not knowing if they had done that for a reason.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
We recently stayed at this beach rental and were excited about its prime location, which is undoubtedly its best feature. However, our experience was marred by several significant issues.
First and foremost, the water system had severe rust issues, which we discovered when our laundry came out stained with an orange hue. This problem extended beyond just the washing machine; even our swimwear was affected after being worn in the pool. The owner did send maintenance to address the issue promptly and provided a partial refund for the ruined items, which we appreciated. However, the compensation was minimal, and the owner’s dismissive attitude and lack of empathy left a sour taste.
The owner suggested that sunscreen interacting with the water was the cause, which implies future renters should avoid using sunscreen to prevent damage—an impractical expectation at a beach property.
Additionally, we encountered several other issues:
The cleanliness of the floors was questionable, leaving our bare feet dirty.
About half of the outlets did not work.
A light fixture was hanging from the ceiling in one bathroom.
While we managed to overlook these problems and enjoy the beach, the overall experience with the property and more so the host was disappointing.
I would advise future renters to be cautious, especially with laundry and swimwear. In other reviews, cleanliness seems to be a problem so perhaps a new cleaning company should be utilized.
